FORUM8 Design Festival 2024 was a great success!
A great number of participants attended the event with 500 guest on-site and 1,500 guest online!
The 18th Design Festival was held as a "Live" x "Online" hybrid event. Starting with the EVE programs that provided the metaverse experience in a virtual showroom using the F8VPS, the event lasted for 3 days where the experts gave their excellent lectures to a great number of guests participating from all over Japan and overseas.We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who attended the Design Festival and to all the judges and lecturers. Thank you everyone, and we look forward to seeing you again next year.
New software, system use cases, and R&D are presented every year at the FORUM8 Design Festival 3Days+Eve. In recent years, digital twin and Mtaverse have been rapidly gaining recognition, and full-scale DX is making concrete progress in enterprises, countries, and municipalities, with accelerated development into Web3 and Web4, including cloud, AI, and NFT, in addition to VR and XR. With this, important changes are emerging in new ways of working and corporate activities.…
New software, system use cases, and R&D are presented every year at the FORUM8 Design Festival 3Days+Eve. In recent years, digital twin and Mtaverse have been rapidly gaining recognition, and full-scale DX is making concrete progress in enterprises, countries, and municipalities, with accelerated development into Web3 and Web4, including cloud, AI, and NFT, in addition to VR and XR. With this, important changes are emerging in new ways of working and corporate activities.
The 18th Design Festival will kick off Day 1 with the 9th Autonomous Driving / Sustainability Conference followed by the 23rd 3D VR Simulation Contest. Various VR simulations and systems and valuable use cases involving the application of Digital Twin and Digital Garden City concepts will be presented. In terms of construction of Metaverse, we are strongly promoting deployment of Metaverse on the WebVR platform “F8VPS” and new technologies and functions will be presented again this year, such as the linkage between Metaverse and the NFT service “F8NFTS”.
In the “Published Literature Presentation” session, with the support of State of the Arts Technologies in Expression Association, the author of each of the newly published books - “Learn Urban Planning in 1 Day”, “Learn about XR and Metaverse in 1 Day”, “Construction DX/Web 4.0 Digital World being Expanded by FORUM8” and “Guidebook for Shade 3D Certification Exam” – will each deliver his presentation, followed by and a networking party to celebrate the release of the new books.
Day 2 will feature a special lecture by Mr. Kunihiro Tanaka, CEO of Sakura Internet Inc. on “The Power of Cloud and AI to Driving Japan's Digitalization”. In addition, the final judging and award ceremony for the 12th Student Cloud Programming World Cup (CPWC) and the 14th Student BIM&VR Design World Cup (VDWC) will be held, where nominated student teams from around the world will compete against each other. The 17th International VR Symposium is also a must-watch.
On Day 3, State of the Art Technologies in Expression Association will present the works nominated for 8th Hagura Award and give awards to the winners. There will also be a special lecture by Professor Fumihiko Imamura from the International Research Institute of Disaster Science, Tohoku University. The 11th National Resilience Design Award Ceremony will be held afterwards, where various technical works that contribute to national resilience and disaster prevention will be presented. There will also be presentations on the latest updates on FORUM8’s FEM analysis solutions, including Engineer's Studio®, Ver. 11 of which is now available.
As in the previous year, we will hold a pre-event festival “Eve” in the Metaverse, a technical tour for invited students and prize winners from around the world as a commemorative event, and a social golf tournament at Camellia Hills to which SPU special users and related parties are invited.
We hope you will take advantage of this great opportunity to learn about FORUM8's software and services, and that this event would help our users and engineers improve their productivity and innovate their companies' management.
